The Smoke-Free Movement
TAKE ACTION: Listen to Lisa's Story, Share it with your friends
Starting today, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network is starting to run television advertising in key downstate media markets in support of the effort to make Illinois Smoke Free.
Featured in these advertisements is an amazing American Cancer Society Volunteer named Lisa Christia. Lisa is a living reminder to all of us of the very real danger of secondhand smoke. But more than that, she is a courageous and inspirational advocate for a Smoke Free Illinois.
Before this year, she had never been to Springfield. Since the effort to make Illinois Smoke Free kicked off in January, she has personally traveled to Springfield three times to share her story with state legislators, with electrifying results each time.
Now you have a chance to hear just a little bit about Lisa's story with this ad campaign. Helps us out by doing the following:

You should be ashamed of misrepresenting this young ladies' illness. I hope she fully recovers and her cancer never returns, but only a quack would attribute her tongue cancer to second hand smoke. Lies and half-truths are the staple of prohibitionists. You tried it with alcohol and it spawned a criminal enterprise which has cost this country more than you can ever imagine. How is that war on drugs going? You people are nothing more than weak-minded co-dependent paranoics who play on the fears of the ignorant. Your day will come. It is not unity which binds America, but the love of freedom and self expression. Unless you smoke, drink or get an abortion, of course. Then, one is a criminal who is not welcome in your little utopian world. One day you will have to stand and face the music and there will be no one standing behind you. What will you pathetic little joiners do then? You haven't the courage. You will crawl back under the rocks you came from under and just lie there trembling in fear. I truly pity you. Peace and God Bless

My how angry you are,for someone who has not been through what I have.I have NOT been nor will I be misrepresented.My doctor(who, by the way has a medical degree-Do you?)has gone on the record with this.I had a smokers cancer caused by second hand smoke. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.Sometimes there are bigger things in this world, then your opinion.I am sorry,that you choose to slowly kill yourself and those around you.If you slipped a little bit of arsenic into my food everyday, and I got sick, you could be charged with and convicted of attempted murder.The smoker next to me thinks he can do it and get away with it?Well, not anymore.The Illinois assemblies agree, and this law will be passed.What will you find to bitch about then?
